Me too. GHC seems to generate wrong machine code when building itself.
I can add the following information:

When building ghc from source, using a ghc-6.2.1 (recent source tarball
built with ghc-5.02.3 and installed), the first ghc which is built (stage 1)
*seems* to work correctly. It builds the stage 2 ghc without showing any errors.
Problems show up when using this ghc (stage 2), e.g. for building a
stage 3 ghc, but also any trivial "hello world" program.

Compiling with "ghc-inplace -v X.hs" shows that the compiler segfaults during
the type check.

Thanks
Jost
